The Brian Cushing suspension news was not a surprise at all. Everyone, although maybe not the Texans, knew Cushing had a reputation for dabbling in performance-enhancing drugs. In fact, back in the New Jersey, Cushing's home, the rumors started in high school. Now with the suspension, the past allegations -- whether true are or not -- now seem to have much more merit. One more positive test will result in a one-year suspension, and it will be fascinating to see his body development from this point forward. The Texans have to be concerned about the suspension considering Cushing will miss the first four games of the season, but also the impact this positive test will have on his future development.

I think the Texans found out before the draft, thats why they drafted Darryl Sharpton out of miami in the 4th. But I'm a big fan of Xavier Adibi LB on the Texans that never got a shot at starting. Demeco and Zac Diles still make up 2 of the best LBs in the NFL.
